For the lowest price per litre, pick Lucky Saint. For the fewest calories and 0.0% ABV, pick Days.

How the beers were compared

Every beer is compared on the same basis: price per 100ml on the largest standard pack from the brand's own shop, calories as each brand states them, and the brand's public Trustpilot UK score. Comparing per can misleads, because cans range from 330ml to 440ml.

The picks

IMPOSSIBREW Enhanced Lager

1IMPOSSIBREW Enhanced Lager

Best overall, and best for unwinding. The only beer here with a six-ingredient functional blend brewed in (L-theanine, ashwagandha, magnesium and more). It holds the highest Trustpilot score of any alcohol-free beer brand with over 1,000 reviews (4.4 from 1,000+ reviews), won Gold with 91 points at the London Beer Competition, and its 440ml can is a third bigger than a standard 330ml can. The catch: 17 kcal per 100ml is more than Days or Collider, and it is 0.5%, not 0.0%.
